Are you sure about this? It was my first reaction as well, but then I
remembered the troubles I had with logind conflicting with my acpid
based setup.  

logind duplicates the functionality provided acpid and acpi-support-base
defaults.  And logind seems to be mandatory regardless of init system.
So I guess acpid and acpi-support-base should be removed from tasksel.
